One Of the greatest delusions of
the day IS the belief that the wages
Of the worklngmen are benefited by
the high, unreformed tariff When
more men are applying for work
than can obtain 1t wages will go
down; when more workmen are want
ed than the e nployers can get they
vii go up This is true in countries
that have free trade and it is
equally true where there is high tar
if protects the goods the capitalist
sells, but not the labor he buys Labor
comes into the country untaxed
completes with the labor here. That
high tariff does net protect labor the
state ofthings existing today in our
own country demonstrates. All over
the land the cry goes up from labor
that its pay IS insufficient. BY huns
dreds,and by thousands men are on
tie strike because their wages are
too low. The number of men en-
gagged IN them, cons. itute a labor ba-
rometer that indicates unmista kablY
whether labor is satisfied or dissat-
isfed with its pay, IF low tariff be
accompanied by an unusual preva-
Ience of strikes, then labor is not
protected and is discontented. If
that state of things exists under high
tariff, the high tariff discs not protecl
labor and bring content. If. there
fore. we know under which of the
two systems there are the most and
largest strikes, then we know under
which system labor is best protected
There are plenty of persons around
US who lived i'll low tariff times,
they all tell that such strikes and
Disturbances in the labor department
as exist now had, for extent and vic
lence, no parallel then.In those days
there were no squads OF tramps pass
ing from city to city; labor made no
such cutlery as we have been hear
ing ever since high tariff was sad
bed upon the nation. Can any
raeJer reflect on these facts and be-
lieve that a high tariff under which
the rich grow richer and million
aires, like foul excrescences, come
into existence, and under which la
Dor is groanlng. and surging
and complaining, and the tramp
class is brought into being-can be
a "protection to Amerlca?"-Ap-
peal.

WEST TENNESSEE ASYLUM

the last Legislature appropriated
$4,000 10 purchase q site and erect
an Insane Asylum for West Tennes-
see. About half Of this amount
has been expended, and the present
Legislature is asked to give a suhi-
cient additional amount TO complete
the buildings accotdIng to the plans
and specifications of the architect as
approved by the Governor. There
are now over 500 insane ia this
division of the State, only 125 Of
whom are cared for at the Nashville,
Asylum, the balance being in jails
or poor houses. 1t is much cheaper
for the state and the different coun-
ties, chat the insane should he cared
for at an asylum built and equipped
for the purpose, and it Is infinitely
better for these poor unlorturates
and the people generally that they
should have proper care and treat
ment in Il building especially fitted
and managed to meet their wants.

of these institutions as the embodi-
meuts OF the sweetest cralitles Of the
State and as practical expressions OF

to be considered by the general as
sembly, the provision for the care
and treatment of the insane is the
most important. The election of a
Senator was important as a politica
measure; that Of Comptroller and

from a business standpoint. The
submission Of the constitutional a
mendment has moral Significance
all of these are of interest to every
citizen Of the State, but the care

victims Of insanity appeal to us as
political economists, as humanitaIi-

that we, as a great State, who by
the chivaIry, and yalor Of her gal

nomen of The Volunteer State,
cannot afford to ignore their claims.
From statistics carefully compiled,
we are informed, that in our diviS-

population OF nearly five hundred,
About one fifth of this number are
besng treated in the Hospital at
Nashville; the remainder are con-

In Justice to ourselves, in justice to

POWER OF Ro5oRITE.
An Explosive Which Distances Dynamite
in It's Dreadful Work.

An Explosive Which Distances Dynamite
in It's Dreadful Work.
Some interesting experiments have
lately been made in Westphalia with
the new German explosive known us
roborite, for the purpose of showing its
advantages over dynamite. The state
ment that the former compound is
stronger than the latter has been de-
clared to be a gross exaggeration of
facts, and tho possibility of their being
any thing like equality between them
has been pooh-poohed as unreasonable
and absurd. But if the reports which
have received are worthy of credence
and they come with apparently I'm
questionable authority roborte has
made good its claim of equality, at
least.
The first experiments undertaken
were to demonstrate the superiority of
the new explosive in its ability to stand
friction and heavy blows. Small guam
titles laid upon an anvil and struck
with sledge hammer stood the test
very satisfactorily. Afterward large
quantity was burned to show that even
when thick mass no explosion
occurs when merely ignited by the
application of flame. In the trials for
strength ~ ounce cartridge of dyna-
mite was laid upon u rolled steel rail
of English manufacture and covered
with u sod turf. When fired by an
electrical fuse, the rail was bent and
riffs were opened in the metal at the
place where the cartridge lay. A
roborite cartridge of the same weight,
exploded under the same conditions
broke similar rail asunder.
Next charge of 3f pounds OF dyna-
mite was laid upon Siemens-Martin
steel armor plate, covered with earth
and fired. The effect was to slightly
bend the plate. Tho sarle charge OF
roborito completely shattered similar
plate. The value of roborite in blast
ing down coal is testified to by numer-
Gus engineers and colliery managers in
the Westphalian district. 1t is said to
give little or no flame, and to shattel
less than dynamite. This latter state
ment is not so easy to reconcile with
the violent action exerted upon the rail
and the plate in the experiments de-
scribed. The writer of the testimonials
alluded to denies that products of com.
bustion are more injurious to health
than those resulting from the explosia,
OF dynamite. Colliery Engineer
